Lynn Sweet, Bill Press, Jim Geraghty and Howard Kurtz on how the latest Santorum surge took the media by surprise.
Now more than ever, the press is a part of every story it covers. And CNN's "Reliable Sources" is one of television's only regular programs to examine how journalists do their jobs and how the media affect the stories they cover. Host Howard Kurtz, Washington Bureau Chief of The Daily Beast, is the nation's premier media critic, and each week he questions print reporters, television correspondents and Internet bloggers about how the press is covering the major stories of the week.

Santorum's assertion that Obama got a free ride from the Press over the Wright affair is absurd. He had to deal with it for weeks on end. It only seems that he got a free ride because he survived and one way was by finally, under enormous press coverage, disassociating himself from the Rev.
Santorum should be called on remarks that so clearly fly in the face of history... as should all politicians who rewrite history to reflect their own immediate agendas.
